China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) pledged Monday to enhance contacts and coordination so as to advance the progress of the six-party talks on the Korean peninsula nuclear issue.
In the talks between Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Pak Ui Chun, his DPRK counterpart, Yang said it was in everyone's interests to implement the second phase acts of the six-party talks in an all-round and balanced way.
It was also the expectation of the international community, Yang told Pak.
China was willing to increase communication and coordination with the DPRK to make progress, Yang said.
Pak said it was the constant stance of the DPRK to de-nuclearize the Korean peninsula and that the DPRK would like to work with all relevant parties to fulfill obligations.
He hailed the efforts China had made in the process of the six-party talks as the host country, expressing his wish to maintain cooperation with China.
The two sides also exchanged views on bilateral relations.
State Councilor Dai Bingguo also met with Pak on Monday.
Dai appreciated the DPRK for its firm support of China on the Taiwan and Tibet issues. He also expressed gratitude for DPRK's support of the Beijing Olympics and the smooth Olympic torch relay in Pyongyang.
Pak said the DPRK backed the one-China policy and supported China on the Tibet and Taiwan issues, opposed the linking of sports with politics.
